Women in Engineering & Construction | With Maddy Lawrence, Charlotte Howlings & Davinia Potterton from The DALA Group

This week on Beyond Four Walls, I'm joined by three inspiring women from The DALA Group: Maddy Lawrence, Charlotte Howlings and Davinia Potterton.Engineering and construction have traditionally been male-dominated industries, but the landscape is changing. More women are entering the sector, challenging perceptions and proving that there is no single route into a career in engineering.In this episode, we go beyond job titles and technical roles to explore the people behind the professions. We discuss what first attracted Maddy, Charlotte and Davinia to the industry, the lessons they've learned along the way, and what continues to inspire them in their work.Together, we talk about:• What it's really like working in engineering and construction today• The parts of the industry we should celebrate more often• How attitudes towards women in the sector have evolved• The importance of confidence, resilience and finding your voice• What employers can do to better support future talent and diversity• Why representation matters and how we encourage more young people, particularly girls, to consider careers in engineering• The advice they would give to the next generation entering the professionThis conversation isn't just about being a woman in engineering. It's about opportunity, leadership, wellbeing and creating an industry where people from all backgrounds can thrive.Whether you work in property, construction, engineering or simply enjoy hearing the stories of people making a difference in their professions, this episode offers an honest and insightful look at an industry that is continuing to evolve.Because behind every building, every project and every innovation are people and their stories.And that's exactly what Beyond Four Walls is all about.#BeyondFourWalls #WomenInEngineering #WomenInConstruction #TheDALAGroup #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #PropertyManagement #Engineering #BuiltEnvironment #ConstructionIndustry #WherePropertyMeetsPeopleThank you so much for listening to Beyond Four Walls.
